Our Next Contestant is Billy Bob Baba Ganoush!

If you watch the whacky Spike TV show, Most Extrmeme Elimination Challenge (MXC) then you likely know that each show has a contestant with the last name of, Baba Ganoush. You know the show, the one where crazy Japanese people take insane falls and hits on near impossible obstacle courses so American TV audiences can laugh at them. THAT'S THE ONE! Were you aware that Baba Ganoush is also a Middle Eastern food? Until Jenne and I stopped in a Shepardstown, West Virginia gourmet food and gift store and saw jars labeled, Baba Ganoush we had no idea. I also discovered that in the pro-wrestling world, Baba Ganoush is a synonym for a "jobber". This is a wrestler that takes a planned fall, thereby lossing the match. See, you do learn something new everyday even if it is pretty useless trivia.

I saw it spelled so many ways, that I had no clue which was correct, so I went with the most common. Crazy Internet and its alternate way of spelling just about every word out there!

Well, however you spell it, it's still funny.
